Yesterday, winner of the inaugural SRFCxFIFA20 Tournament Justin Sterk had the controller in-hand and his victory over TB’s eSports gamer Carlos Rueda guaranteed Sterk’s side would be promoted to Division A for next week’s matches. Raul Jimenez bagged a brace – elevating his team-high goal scoring tally to four – and Hirving Lozano registered his first goal of the tournament before Colombia collected a consolation strike moments before the end of the match.
Colombia was an extremely attacking side full of flair unlike Thursday’s European opposition that is more of a gritty and balanced squad. Greece may only be a three-and-a-half-star rating on FIFA20 but the Mediterranean nation trounced Division B’s second-seeded Phoenix Rising FC’s Netherlands squad in their Quarterfinal contest, 7-1, and registered 21 total shots.

Battery defender Rennico Clarke had the Dutch in cruise control and will once again be in charge of his side for Thursday’s fixture against Barahona’s Mexico. Clarke’s Greece had a 4-1 lead at the half and snuck three more second half scores by the opposing goalkeeper to round out the one-sided match. It’s hard to be believe but the Netherlands actually had a 1-0 advantage to open up the game.
Greece’s goalscoring phenom yesterday was Anastasios Donis who ended the afternoon with five goals from nine shots. Alongside Donis, fellow playmakers Efthymios Koulouis, Anastasios Bakasetas, Petros Mantalos and Dimitris Limnios each can create plenty of scoring chances for the European team that’s very tough to score against.
